I am still getting this on Karmic. FF = 3.5.5 (ubuntu)
If i try to open a .jpg, it says it can't but there is no where in the
preferences to add .jpg to the handlers. ( you can see jpeg, but not
jpg, and there is no "add" option )

YES! This bug, or something very similar is still a problem.
I'm using Swiftweasel 3.5 now, but I had the same problem with a
previous version of firefox several months ago.
Inexplicably, all mime handlers are broken as of three minutes ago. This
started mid-browsing and persists after restart.
Is this still a problem for anyone using the latest Firefox 3.0 and/or
Firefox 3.5?

This can be rejected for Feisty since FireFox-2 is EOL.
I'm thinking this is more due to lack of plugins to handle .pdf or office.doc

everyone?

these not so common profile corruptions are most likely due to crashes
while firefox wants to write content in your profile. Mainly the
following two bugs:
1. firefox crashes on instant X shutdown (e.g. if you leave X without closing
firefox first)

I can't seem to reproduce this on gutsy. But the reason may be that I

Hi Matt!
It seems you're using Firefox under Windows. There it may very well work
just fine.
This bug tracking system is however for the operating system Ubuntu (see

this version that has the problem described above.
